I have yet to taste a good whisky from this "That Boutique-y Whisky Company" since most of their offerings that i have had are usually not that good. Having said that, i managed to get me a sample (thank god it was only a sample) of a whisky that initially looked like a very interesting dram, since this "World Whisky Blend" allegedly has whiskies from Scotland, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, USA, Switzerland, Netherlands, Taiwan, India, Italy, Germany (Bavaria), France, Japan and Finland.
Bottled at 41.6%abv, a very pale straw color.
On the nose, it resembled a lot to a cheap irish whiskey. Grain whisky, young grain whisky. Hay and typical cheap vanilla from grain whiskies. Acetone. Some chocolate fudge but not fancy. Some cheap lemon. Taxi Air freshener. Creamy vanilla from grain whiskies. Letting it breath turns it into vanilla ice cream. Toffee is rising after 4 minutes. After a first sip i got fresh corn fields.
On the palate, it was oily, creamy and grainy. Full of vanilla. Salty, feels a lot like an Irish whiskey.
Aftertaste follows the same path. Creamy vanilla. Pepper. Maize. Ginger. Super normal low-end blend. Very salty not off-putting.
Overall, i did not knew what to expect before drinking it, and i got nothing in return so that seems fair somehow. Not horrible, but not good or remarkable in any way. I struggled to finish it, since it felt young and boring. I usually avoid reading things about a new whisky and then, after tasting it, i google about the dram i just had; but not this time, i don't have even the slightest curiosity on which distilleries are blended here. My score for it, is 60 over 100. I won't be buying a bottle. Ever.
